ChironAnimation.gif(680 × 510 pixels, file size: 880 KB, MIME type: image/gif, looped, 203 frames, 22 s)

Description The motion of 2060 Chiron in a rotating frame with a period equal to Saturn's orbital period. (Saturn is held stationary.) It shows the chaotic unstable motion of Chiron as simulated by Gravity Simulator. It is possible that Chiron will evolve into a 2:1 near resonance with Saturn over the next 10,000+ years. Saturn is the white (stationary) dot at 10 o'clock. Jupiter is blue. The animated GIF starts at the chaotic year 8,005 and goes to the year 19,987. There are 203 frames.
